The withdrawal address allow-list

1 min readUpdated Jul 9, 2026

The address allow-list is an anti-theft control for withdrawals. When it’s on, the app will only send withdrawals to addresses you have explicitly saved and enabled — so even if someone gained access to your session, they couldn’t withdraw to an address you didn’t approve.

How it works

  • You save trusted withdrawal addresses to your allow-list in Security.
  • With the allow-list on, a withdrawal to any address that isn’t on the list is refused before it’s broadcast.

The asymmetric timing (this is the point)

Turning protection up is instant; turning it down is slow — on purpose.

  • Enabling the allow-list, or adding a new trusted address, takes effect immediately.
  • Disabling the allow-list (removing the protection) is delayed by a set waiting period before it takes effect.

That delay means an attacker can’t simply switch the protection off and drain your funds in one session — you have a window to notice and react.

You’re notified of every change

Every change to your allow-list or its state sends you a critical Telegram message. If you ever get one of these notifications and it wasn’t you, act immediately: your account may be compromised.

  1. Add the address(es) you actually withdraw to (your exchange, your cold wallet).
  2. Turn the allow-list on.
  3. Leave the disable-delay as configured — the wait is your safety margin.

The allow-list is one layer. Withdrawals to a new address also require confirmation with your PIN or Face ID, and every account has withdrawal limits. Together these mean moving money out always requires something only you have.
